Cigars on the ice anyone??

[PTocko]

Just wondering if anyone else enjoys a cigar (or 2) while out fishing. I always intend to bring one but seem to forget in trying to get all my other gear ready. Not talking about swisher sweets but a good quality cigar. If there is enough of us - maybe we could have a fish 'n' smoke gathering. Good Luck!! Paul

Boy I'm glad you were not talking about what the dogs leave behind.

Been a while since I had a good cigar, I think I just may head to the smoke shop and see whats new. Love the smell of a good cigar but those potent ones are nasty when you can smell them 50 yrds down the ice.. Next couple of days going to be good sitting out on a bucket and the cigar is looking mighty nice.

Never touch one

Never touch one

I'm going out on a limb - but with a name like "cigarguy" I'm thinking your joking So there's 3 of us - c'mon is that all? I figured there'd be more of us. Tomorrow I'm bringing a Gurkha I've been wanting to try. Paul

[AaronM]

Count me in!

I should have "Cheap Cigarguy" as a name. I have tried a few of the finer cigars and just haven't found anything I like. For a quick smoke, I have a Backwoods, Honeyberry. For a "sit-down" cigar I have Havana Sweets, Honeyberry......I'm a flavored smoke guy. These are about 65.00 for 25, so, it's a fair price. I just haven't found a real(non-flavored) cigar I like and I'm sick of spending money only to be disappointed. In my humidor I have 3 or 4 different kinds. I buy my online and save quite a bit. I go on a cigar HSOforum and they have great info on all types and prices of cigars.

Nothing like a Arturo Feunetes Curly Head Cigar. Nice and mild good smoke. Spelling could be off. I think i will get some for the LOW trip in a couple weeks. yes I do throw the butt in the garbage..

Romeo y Julietta Reserva Real is what I smoke. I like the Lonsdales. They sell for about $8 each but I bought a box of 25 online for $110. I even handed a few out for Christmas presents.

I plan to pack a few with the rest of my stuff this morning as I get ready to head up to Mille Lacs for a day of fishing.

[CFRay]

Me too! A cigar cutter is always in my tackle box. I get mine from an online site as well. I only enjoy cigars when I'm outside, never in the house.

[Maverick]

I always smoke cigars in the fish house. It helps to keep the mosquitoes away. My favorites all come from the Perdomo line. Fresco, Nick's Sticks and 10th Anniversary Champagne.

[PTocko]

Nice - now we're talking. For the record - I didn't mean to exclude swishers and other "flavored" cigars. What I meant by "good" cigar meant one in which you had to prepare (cut) to smoke and light with a cigar lighter. I have had swishers on the lake because they are easy (and available at any gas station). Cigars in my humidor I have to "think" about packing. A cheapo cutter in the tackle box might be in order along with some wood matches. So, do we have a get togther - fish and stogies. I live on Prior Lake am willing to host but also am willing to travel. Lets get a count and geography of who would be "in"

In - Prior Lake, MN

The king of infused (flavored) cigars is Drew Estates. I spend plenty of time enjoying a Drew Estate Dirt Torpedo from the Natural collection, or the Kuba Kuba which is one of my favorites. Drew Estates have so many to choose from with many different flavors it is incredible. Tight Lines and Tasty Tokes!

[CALVINIST]

I used to smoke alot of cigars but have cut down quite a bit because of the expense, and now usually reserve good cigars for fishing trips. I used to smoke big cigars but now they kick my butt so I pretty much stick to the little ones in the tins....10 per tin. I have a five day fishing outing next week and plan on getting either Ashton, Partagas, or Macanudo in the tins. They are just the right size for me and they taste great.

[fishin4fun85]

Been looking for a good humidor....not sure where to go to buy a good one in the metro....managed to get some Cohibo's from Mexico on my honeymoon accross the border so I want to try and preserve them the best I can....also...if I were to keep those and some other cigars in the same humidor would I be ruining the flavor of the cigars? I don't know a whole lot about the finer details of good cigar smoking so just looking for some info here!! Thanks everyone!! Hey Muc....where do you pick up those Drew Estates??

[Northlander]

Macunudo was a fav of mine back when I smoked cigars. I tried a ton of them and wasted a lot of money doing so. I found it just to spendy. Heck the cheapest ones would be $8 all the way up to $35 a piece. Too much $ for me. Oh and Im the guy with THOUSANDS of dollars in cranks/sticks.

When I was on the ship we went to Brit ruled HONKKONG (I know how its spelled, but it turns into king kong when I spell it right) and I bought some Cubans. When we hit the states we had to "declare" what we brought in on our customs forms. Needless to say, they got left off the form Man, they smoked up nicely, end dipped into some fine brandy. Good stuff

[Chef]

Skoal Straight Long-Cut for me...don't like the Gar Stink on my fingers...

[Grainbelter]

Best humidor I've ever had is tupperware with spanish cedar inside! Doesn't get much cheaper than that. A Tupperdor!

+1 on the Acid line!!! I currently have Kuba Kuba's and Blondies in my humidor.

[Crappiechopper]

I smoke Nub 460 cameroons. They put out a lot of smoke and I just open the vent a litle in consideration of my fishing partners. It is my shack afterall.

[harvey lee]

Maybe some Cubans. One winter in Mexico I went fishing with 3 dudes from NY and they had some Cuban cigars.

Now that is a smooth smoke.
